On what factors does collector current of BJT depends?

I_c (collector current) is independent of the value of V_CB.(voltage across base-emitter junction) That
is, as long as the collector is positive with respect to the base, the electrons that reach the collector side of the base region will be swept into the collector and will register as a collector current. It is also directly proportional to emitter current.

How to Calculate Collector Current of PNP Transistor?

Collector Current of PNP Transistor calculator uses Collector Current = Saturation Current*(e^(Base-Emitter Voltage/Thermal Voltage)) to calculate the Collector Current, The Collector current of PNP transistor carried by the electrons that reach the collector region. The collector current in a PNP transistor is carried by majority carriers (i.e., electrons) that flow from the collector region towards the emitter region. Collector Current is denoted by I_c symbol.

How to calculate Collector Current of PNP Transistor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Collector Current of PNP Transistor, enter Saturation Current (I_sat), Base-Emitter Voltage (V_BE) & Thermal Voltage (V_t) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Collector Current of PNP Transistor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 5010.611 = 0.001675*(e^(5.15/4.7)).

FAQ

What is Collector Current of PNP Transistor?

The Collector current of PNP transistor carried by the electrons that reach the collector region. The collector current in a PNP transistor is carried by majority carriers (i.e., electrons) that flow from the collector region towards the emitter region and is represented as I_c = I_sat*(e^(V_BE/V_t)) or Collector Current = Saturation Current*(e^(Base-Emitter Voltage/Thermal Voltage)). Saturation Current is the diode leakage current density in the absence of light. It is an important parameter which differentiates one diode from another, Base-Emitter Voltage is the forward voltage between the base and emitter of the transistor & Thermal Voltage is the voltage produced within the p-n junction.

How to calculate Collector Current of PNP Transistor?
